Re: BT manhole
What's the cost of resetting the chamber lid if I want to add dropped kerbs ?

Re: BT manhole
Depends on what type of Joint Box it is. If it’s a JMF then it’ll need to be rebuilt as a JBF so it can support the weight of a car driving over it.

Re: BT manhole
Got quote from openreach. Cost to rebuild the chamber £4500. Concrete chamber will needed to be rebuild even if only the lid level needs changing.
